‘The Mystery Writers of America Cookbook’ Is A Must Buy for Foodies and Bibliophiles [REVIEW]

Jathan and I love to cook nearly as much as we love to read. Or maybe it’s the other way around! Either way, when I received a copy of The Mystery Writers of America Cookbook: Wickedly Good Meals and Desserts to Die For, written by a host of my favorite authors and edited by Kate White, I was in awe.

I am happy to annouce the cookbook also features a few gluten-free recipes, such as David Morrell‘s Thomas De Quincey’s Pasta-Less Pasta (58) and Brad Meltzer‘s Italian Chicken (99).

I love making up recipes that tell a story, so when I serve it to guests I can tell them who made it originally, who gave it to me, etc. And now you can tell your friends, “Oh, James Patterson gave me that recipe! Isn’t his Grandma’s Killer Chocolate Cake the bomb?” (148)

It is also fun to gather recipes from others depending on their locale, taste and interests. Ever since my husband introduced me to Louisiana cuisine, I always love trying seafood recipes from this area. So I can’t wait to try Laura Joh Rowland‘s Crab Cakes recipe (111). Yum!

The recipes in this collection are so good, the book has now been nominated for the Boucheron World Mystery Convention Award for Best Critical or Nonfiction Book! So what are you waiting for? Cook up a recipe worth killing for today. Bon Appétit!
